While Bosnia and Hercegovina head into the penultimate Euro 2016 qualifier hoping to remain in contention for the play-off berth, Wales know that a win in Zenica would see them secure their place in France.

And with both teams clearly eager to record a win on Saturday evening, chances are we will witness a highly entertaining encounter.

Bosnia have had several narrow misses before finally reaching a major tournament in 2014, only to fail to progress from what was one of the easiest groups at the World Cup.

The poor performance in Brazil clearly took its toll on the team and the national team chiefs decided to sack coach Safet Susic after the team picked up mere two points from first four Euro 2016 qualifiers.

Bosnia did show improvement since Mehmed Bazdarevic took over, recording back to back wins over Andorra and Israel, but a 3-1 loss in Belgium seriously damaged their qualifying hopes.

Following another triumph over minnows Andorra, the Dragons sit two points behind the play-off spot, meaning this is a must-win game for them.

And with the reverse fixture ending all squared, Bosnia have been made 1.95 (19/20) favourites to claim maximum points.

The hosts have already stayed without Sead Kolasinac, Tino Sven Susic and Ermin Zec through injury, with Izet Hajrovic added to the squad. Muhamed Besic starts a three-match suspension.

There are still doubts over the fitness of Senad Lulic and Edin Dzeko, but the two star players are expected to start even if they are not fully fit.

Probable starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Begovic – Mujdza, Vranjes, Spahic, Zukanovic – A. Hadzic, Medunjanin – Visca, Pjanic, Lulic – Dzeko.

Not too many people expected Wales to qualify from the group that also contains Belgium, Bosnia and Israel, but Chris Coleman’s charges have clearly proved the doubters wrong.

The Dragons appear to have peaked at the right time, with the team showing a great deal of quality and character to climb to the top of the group.

Wales were somewhat unfortunate not to defeat Israel last time out, but they will have two more match points as they only need one more win to qualify.

And even though the Dragons will be facing weak Andorra in the final Euro 2016, they want to get the job done as early as possible and are 4.50 (7/2) to win in Zenica.

There have been plenty of good news for Chris Coleman as he welcomed back the likes of Gareth Bale, Joe Ledley, Joe Allen, Emyr Huws and Jonathan Williams from injury.

Birmingham City star Dave Cotterill was the only player to withdraw from the squad, with Wes Burnes called as his replacement.

Probable starting line-up (3-5-2): Hennessey – Gunter, A. Williams, Davies – Richards, Ramsey, Ledley, Allen, Taylor – Robson-Kanu, Bale.
